Breast cancer of female is common but rare in male. It is diagnosed in advanced stage due to the limited amount of breast tissue and lack of awareness. Most cases occur over the age of 60 years. Male breast cancer is treated like female breast cancer. The outcome of the disease is worse, 5-4 years survival in about 40% cases.Mediscope Vol. 2, No. 1: 2015, Pages 36-38
